Would any of the SecState candidates like to give a statement? Even if not, I've got a couple of questions I'd like answered.

1) What will you do to make sure you are more active than Texas's previous Secretary of State?

2) Will you update your allies with information about goings-on in Texas?

And one just for Neue Schottland:

3) You were SecState very recently, and found yourself very busy in RL. Has your situation changed any, or will you still be very busy? Will you have enough time to fulfill your duties if elected?

I think I will find myself more active than the current Secretary of State :lol: (there is none)

Things will be winding down after this weekend for me. It is the last game of the season (being played in the American Airlines Center, I might add B) ). It should be relatively easy for me to stay active, minus one specific week (finals). As far as updating other regions with what's going on...well, if elected, I'll do what I can. No guarantees, but I'll for sure make an effort.

Fellow Texans,

I am happy to come before you today as a candidate for this very important position. In my previous terms in this post my efforts were instrumental in opening many of the first embassies and consulates beyond those of our Triumverate partners Wysteria and The Heartland. I bring experience and confidence to the table, and I ask that you vote for me for Secretary of State.

As Secretary of State I would do as I did in the past, spend time visiting all of our Regional allies and diplomatic partners, and I do feel that the duties would include more than just advising the Texas Government on issues, but to provide two-way communication between Texas and all of our diplomatic partners.

Texas has a strong tradition of diplomacy and friendly cooperation with other Regions. This tradition started long before my first term as Secretary of State and it did not stop when I left the office. It continues to this day and I will do my best to continue the continuation of that tradition.

Thank you.

Thanks to whoever nominated me for this position, but I'm afraid I won't be able to commit to this role. My RL duties will be keeping me quite busy until June! Good luck to the other candidates. I hereby withdraw my nomination.

Yes Neb, we appreciate your letting us know and wish you the best in your endeavors. Perhaps next quarter you will have more time and we will see you nominated for something then.
